Abstract

RoboCup Challenge offers a set of challenges for intelligent agent researchers using a
friendly competition in a dynamic, real-time, multi-agent domain. While RoboCup in general
envisions longer range challenges over the next few decades, RoboCup Challenge presents
three specific challenges for the next two years: (i) learning of individual agents and
teams; (ii) multi-agent team planning and plan-execution in service of teamwork; and (iii)
opponent modeling. RoboCup Challenge provides a novel opportunity for machine learning, planning,
and multi-agent researchers --- it not only supplies a concrete domain to evalute their techniques,
but also challenges researchers to evolve these techniques to face key constraints fundamental
to this domain: real-time, uncertainty, and teamwork.
